Political Quotes

“The funding from Washington may not necessarily be all that bad if there was balance. But what we have done is we have funded bureaucracy, bureaucracy which has written more rules and more regulations for local school districts. We have talked about the impact that has had. It is smothering our local public schools with overhead and administrative costs and taking dollars out of the classroom. A tax credit would begin to bring a little bit of balance that says rather than putting more money into empowering bureaucrats, we are going to put some money into empowering parents and rebridging that gap between parents and local schools and their children. That is the important thing, to give at least some of this money the opportunity to be driven by the parents in their local community, rather than by a bureaucrat here in Washington.”
